What Kind Of Physical Exercise Is Recommended To Cure Stenosis And Spondylolisthesis?
I have stenosis/spondylothesis and want to strengthen my legs, even lengthen myself if I can. I currently swim laps and practice yoga; ride a recumbant bicycle about 20 minutes before I swim. Am 81, female. What type exercise will be most effective? Thanks for any guidance.

What Kind Of Physical Exercise Is Recommended To Cure Stenosis And Spondylolisthesis?
Hi there. First of all its very commendable to see that you are so active even at this age. But let me warn you that too strenuous exercises can even exaggerate your spine problem. The best exercises for stenosis are spinal flexion exercises cycling in slight forward bending position and walking uphills. Do consult a physiotherapist on to how exactly to perform these exercises. Good luck
